What Is Meniscus Tear Surgery?
Meniscus Tear Surgery is a procedure designed to repair or remove the damaged part of the meniscus, a C-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion between the thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone (tibia). This surgery is often necessary when the meniscus is torn due to injury or degenerative changes, leading to pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
The knee has two menisci: the medial meniscus (on the inner side) and the lateral meniscus (on the outer side). These structures help distribute weight across the knee joint and stabilize the knee during movement. Meniscus tears can result from acute trauma, such as twisting the knee during sports, or from gradual wear and tear over time.
Meniscus repair focuses on restoring the damaged meniscus to its original state, rather than removing it. This approach aims to preserve the knee's natural shock-absorbing capabilities and potentially improve long-term outcomes.
Types of Meniscus Tear Surgery
Orthopedic Surgeries Mexico in Mexico City offers three Types of Meniscus Surgery
​
1. Meniscus Repair with Suture
This involves stitching the torn edges of the meniscus back together.
Ideal for younger patients with tears in the outer part of the meniscus where there is a good blood supply.
This method preserves the meniscus and its function, helping to maintain knee stability and reduce the risk of long-term issues.
​
2. Meniscal Remodeling
Meniscal remodeling involves advanced surgical techniques to reshape, repair, and regenerate the meniscus. This approach aims to restore the meniscus to its original form and function, enhancing the knee's overall health and performance.
3. Meniscus Wrapping with Collagen Matrix
A collagen scaffold is applied around the damaged meniscus tissue to support and promote natural healing.
Suitable for patients with tears that need additional support for effective healing.
The collagen matrix encourages tissue regeneration, enhancing the healing process and preserving the meniscus's cushioning and stabilizing functions.
Both procedures are performed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, ensuring smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker recovery times. Our experienced surgeons are dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your knee health.
